Looks like we're all suffering. I installed a new soft top on my NB today and i had to rush because chicago weather is shit. Its been raining all weekend and we got 3 hours of clear weather so in that time i had to take out the old top swap the new top on the rails and get it back on the car before it starts raining again.
One thing i fucked up was i put the head liner over the last bow instead of around it. Any ideas if I can fix that without pulling the entire top? https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...ed5d9450a2.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...f0997873ce.jpg |

Gonna offer $220 and see where that goes. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...17504939a4.png |

Denzel Washington takes plea deal in strangling of Aretha Franklin - Story | WTTG
On Wednesday, a New York man named Denzel Washington took a plea deal for strangling his mother, whose name is Aretha Franklin. The attack happened inside the mother’s apartment on West 93rd Street, according to the criminal complaint. “I am informed by Aretha Franklin,” the complaint says, “that she observed the defendant place his hands around her neck and apply pressure, thereby causing redness, bruising and substantial pain to her neck.” Washington’s plea deal means he will have to attend an anger management program, and he’s also been sentenced to a conditional discharge. Franklin, nor Washington, are actually related to their namesakes. |

Holy hell, the InScribe app for Win10 is completely fucking worthless. I swear, I wasn't deliberately trying to screw that up.
I gotta find my Android tablet. I have no idea where I left it, but I need it. This Acer is the absolute worst mobile computing device I've ever used, and I'm including my 80s vintage Casio Databank watch in that assessment. |

"yeah, that grainger idea .... work... redo it in a few years." More may come to me as I look harder at it. |

Actual Acer design meeting:
How can we improve on the ultraportable laptop? Take away the user interface. And make it heavier. And awkward to hold. And reduce the battery life. And charge twice as much for it. And install an operating system whose application base is principally built on the mouse-keyboard paradigm. Brilliant! https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...81f79b1ef4.jpg I was trying to say that, yeah, I remember how the PanAm worldport terminal at LaGuardia had those all over before they tore it down, and then remembered that it was JFK, not LaGuardia, so maybe stroke after all... |

The SJW scene would have gone prompt-critical (physics joke, look it up) and demanded that Columbia Pictures be burnt to the ground and the writers tried for War Crimes.
So it's an interesting look at the double-standard which has evolved.

What do you guys recon this parking space is worth?
https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...822ebdb0af.png I offered $200/mo, the owner came back with $300, came down to $250 after I told him he was nuts, and I haven't responded yet. It's 2 cars deep, but the building's HVAC glycol system drips onto the back half, so that's essentially useless. It's close to the stairwell, but doesn't offer any place to store a bicycle, toolbox, etc. 2. What if you got a large toolbox or cage that was Hard to break into and chained it between the two posts nearby? With big chains. |
You could. Redirect it to both rear tires and do a huge smoky burn out every morning
|
I offered $220 and am waiting to hear back. I could easily anchor a toolbox to the floor using JBweld on a piece of steel plate, but it's a bit of a bummer that the space is so narrow, that'll make things like brake jobs rather intimate. And I really need to fix this fucking caliper rattle...
On the Acer Win8/10 tablet front... The device works well for the one specific thing that I obtained it for, which is to run a piece of software that connects via USB3 to a device that functions as an HDSDI vectorscope / waveform analyzer. With some Velcro on the back, it's absolutely perfect for that. But dear sweet tap-dancing baby Jesus, this thing couldn't be worse as a general-purpose computing platform if it leaked boiling cobra venom onto your hands as you were holding it. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...119f0d234b.gif |

This is Tombili, a stray that sort of "owned" a particular neighborhood in Istanbul.
Residents were taking care of him. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...d86a458cc1.jpg Unfortunately, Tombili fell sick and passed away. Residents were heartbroken. They put up signs that read "You'll live on in our hearts"... https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...eceb1c085c.jpg Then, someone had an idea. 17000 people signed a petition. Seventeen thousand. The municipality then agreed to commission a statue of Tombili, to memorialize the chubby cat. Here's a clay model of the statue... https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...de8541c494.jpg Installation with visiting dignitaries: https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...659126b5e3.jpg Grand opening ceremonies will be held soon https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...7538281bbd.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...fae518bdaf.jpg Another pose by the very Tombili himself, back in the day.... https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...67ddd3bf6c.jpg |
Does JCHangtime still venture these parts?
rip :cry: |
sounded pretty cool for how slow it was. aiiight

It looked to me like he got distracted by the car parked on the left side of the road (maybe worried it was a cop?) at 00:52->53 and messed up his setup for the turn (late brake). :jerkit:

slowclap.GIF Well played, sir. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...1c0e442c16.jpg (Found it sitting directly atop the desktop PC, plugged into it via USB. Feeling fairly retarded just at the moment. Thank Ra that the long, eight-hour nightmare of the Win10 tablet is over.) |

https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...06a97f3f80.png Ahem. You realize that statue is also from Turkey, right? Here's the actual cat from that region. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...03fe880442.jpg |

Please don't make me find a third one. I think I may be pushing the limits of Turkish cat-statuary. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...e6a51035d7.png |

Screwworm outbreak in Florida deer marks first U.S. invasion of the parasite in 30 years

A friend's friend got a F40 to point him by @ COTA in a Miata. F40 was apparently driven by a friend of the owner. I am friends with the wrong side of this interaction. LOL

DANN!
GT2560 vs brotrex, nitrodann twist mount appearance & downpipe, Haltech, DW injectors, MCM Video... if you can stand it.

let me guess, there's no installation, and no actual comparisons in the above video. just a bunch of hipsters talking about what they are going to do?

Cool.
EDIT Video removed because fake. That footage was from Gulfport, MS. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...d7c7fa29fa.jpg |

Pretty sure there will be a part 2.
I was into it until they were making predictions and thought the rotrex might be a torque monster. |

The only + to a centrifugal supercharger is that its more efficient than a roots at max speed and that its extremely predictable because its a gradual boost increase based on rpm unlike with a turbo. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...6b7b83c870.jpg |

lol. the literal disadvantage of the supercharger is being argued as the thing that's going to make it perform as well as a turbocharger...

This begs the question. Enclosing the image url within [img][/img] is how I have always done it. However, within the last ... year? Year and a half? The [img] bracket code will get eaten by the website if I don't post it fast enough.
What magical method should I use? Right now I place all my brackets, then quickly cut and paste my url's and post. If I messed something up I edit and do it all over again. If I let it sit there for a minute, they get eaten. |
if its a jpeg always use the forum picture downloader since it pulls it from the server into the local MT server, if its a large pic such as a gif then add img tags using the original url
